The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

The wandering spirit of the Nine Phoenixes could not be seen by the others, only by Yun Yici.

Everyone wore solemn expressions, trying to deduce their conversation from Yun Yici's one-sided words.

Jiufeng dusted off her sleeves and gave a chilling reply: "With Zhulong and Phoenix around, do you think Xue Tao would still look at my half-rotten body?"

Yun Yici's pupils contracted: "Are you an evil spirit?"

The Nine Phoenixes are a single entity with nine souls. It is said that five of their souls are benevolent and four are malevolent.

Because good intentions often prevail, it is called a divine beast.

It is obvious that the nine phoenix spirits that Xue Ziyan encountered in her childhood were benevolent spirits, while the spirits she is encountering now are malevolent spirits.

Yun Yici quickly calmed down: "Since you heard what we said, you know that if we want to achieve our goal, we must rescue you from this predicament."

"Your soul has left your body and will soon dissipate. You wouldn't be foolish enough to use your last breath to go and inform your enemy, would you?"

"He might spare your physical body for now if he finds a better target to possess, but are you confident you can kill the possessed Zhulong or Phoenix later?"

"Don't go to unnecessary trouble."

Zhu Jian: ? ? ?

Imperial Edict: ! ! !

Both of them felt a chill run down their spines, as if they were being targeted by some evil spirit.

Jiufeng gave Yun Yici a deep look, and then smiled and said, "Alright, I'll help you."

Yun Yici also curled the corners of her mouth: "In that case, the Candle Dragon Space may be able to temporarily protect your soul. To show our sincerity, please invite Senior Jiufeng to enter Senior Zhujian's space."

Zhu Jian looked horrified; she certainly didn't want to put a wicked Jiu Feng into her space.

Jiufeng also said coldly, "Since you know I am an evil spirit, why did you ask me to enter the Candle Dragon Space? Are you worried that I'm dying too slowly?"

Yun Yici smiled and said, "Senior Jiufeng has nine souls in one body. Good and evil are just a thought away. If Senior Jiufeng is not scheming against us, what's wrong with temporarily becoming a great benefactor in order to survive?"

She hadn't forgotten that this nine-phoenix had been banished to the mortal realm after committing an unforgivable crime.

Jiufeng choked up instantly.

Yun Yici deliberately asked, "So Senior Jiufeng would rather die than take a gamble?"

"I suddenly remembered a very interesting rumor. Jiufeng is clearly a god, but he has a bad reputation and is called Guiche because he has a strange habit of taking other people's children."

The emperor's expression changed upon hearing the edict.

Those present also keenly recalled the crimes committed by Jiu Feng.

Zhu Jian blurted out, pointing towards Jiu Feng, "You stole the phoenix egg?"

"are you crazy!"

The Nine Phoenix Evil Spirit grinned maliciously without any attempt to hide its true nature: "So what? As long as Xue Tao learns that Zhulong is still alive, I can take the opportunity to bring the Phoenix back to the God Realm to atone for my sins."

"If that idiot Nüqi hadn't stolen the phoenix egg while Wuwang was asleep, we wouldn't have ended up in this situation."

"Fortunately, that stupid woman is dead."

He said smugly, "Everything that happened here has already been known to the remaining part of my soul, so there is no need for me to go back and report."

To the Nine Phoenix Evil Soul's surprise, Yun Yici laughed even more wildly than he did.

He angrily demanded, "What are you laughing at?"

Yun Yici retorted, "Are you stupid? Can you guess why he didn't undergo Nirvana and fly to the upper realm?"

"The celestial ladder connecting the lower and upper realms has been broken. We're now abandoning the Yellow Spirit Domain and returning. The Xue family can't do anything to us, but you're doomed."

Just as the Nine-Phoenix Evil Spirit was about to speak, his clear figure vanished like mist blown away by the wind.

The smile on Yun Yici's face also disappeared.

Shen Huaichuan asked, "The Nine Phoenix Evil Spirits have dissipated?"

Yun Yici responded softly, but her brows were furrowed, clearly indicating that she was caught in a dilemma.

The emperor, who had only heard Yun Yici speak, pressed further, asking, "What exactly did he say?"

"Am I the egg that he stole?"

Yun Yici reached out and rubbed her temples: "Yes, he admitted it."

"It seems that one of the evil spirits took advantage of the good spirit's slumber to steal your body from the Nine Phoenixes. It was because of this that he was punished and banished to the mortal realm as a sinner of the gods."

The Emperor murmured, "How could this be? Jiufeng was in the Yellow Spirit Domain before the Xue family, and I am only a few hundred years old..."

The emperor could hardly believe it; his origins were a mystery, yet today he had unexpectedly found the answer in a foreign land.

Although he didn't suffer much hardship during his childhood when he roamed the demon realm and acted arrogantly, he once fantasized that his parents had accidentally lost him rather than abandoned him.

He considered many possibilities, but he never imagined that he had been stolen by another bird.

Yun Yici comforted him, "It's probably because the conditions in the Demon Realm are so harsh that you were born many years later."

"Xiao Hachi was born many years later."

"That's all I've found out. As for more information about your parents, perhaps only Jiufeng can tell us."

Rong Xuan raised a question: "I observed that Xiao Ci was confronting that Nine Phoenix Evil Spirit just now, and it seems that the other party has other plans."

"If the other two conscious souls are also evil souls, what should we do?"

Mu Yunjian said, "Whether he is good or evil, he wouldn't be stupid enough to turn around and bite us before he escapes."

"His original plan was to pass on the news of Senior Zhujian to Xue Tao, and then take advantage of Xue Tao dealing with Senior Zhujian to ascend to heaven with the imperial edict?"

"This soul is probably the dumbest of the nine souls of the Nine Phoenixes."

"Don't worry, Xue Tao won't give him a chance to escape. Once he finds a better body, the previous one should have been eliminated."

Mu Yunjian's villainous mindset left everyone speechless.

Upon closer reflection, it does seem to make some sense, albeit a flawed one.

Yun Yici asked Di Zhao with concern, "Fellow Daoist Di Zhao, what are your thoughts?"

The emperor snapped out of his reverie and said, "I have no objections. Let's set off."

"It is true that Jiufeng committed evil deeds, but I believe that the laws of the divine realm have made a just judgment."

"If he is a benevolent spirit, I want to learn about my parents from him."

"If he is an evil spirit, I will kill him."

The sudden appearance of the Nine Phoenix Evil Spirits disrupted everyone's mind, but it did not change their will.

After settling the humans they had rescued from the Demon Realm, Emperor Zhao and his entourage immediately set off, activating the protective shield of the Sun and Moon Shuttle to head towards Snow City.

Yun Yici went to find Xue Ziyan to exchange information.

Xue Ziyan was shocked after hearing this: "If that's the case, we must act as soon as possible."

"The remaining nine phoenix souls will only disappear faster and faster."
